Re: Climate in Europe was Gardens in Winter / new member.
Thanks for the enlightenment , Arnhild.
I guess I watch too many cartoons on TV. Always think of snow, snow, and more
snow, with long winter nights and raindeer when thinking of your country. Everyone
is over six feet tall and blonde.OK , I am exaggerating just a bit here.
Sounds as though our winters here would be harder on the plants than in your
garden. No snow, temps that run up and down the scale into zone 5. Drying winds
and frozen ground. Arctic expresses straight out of Canada. The last two winters
have actually been very mild there, but that causes problems as well. Things
awaken far too early to get hit by later freezes.
We al have out good times in the garden, huh?
